  • Verse 1
    I'm 
    gonna 

    tell you a story 
    about 
    the Hookers 

    John 
    and Earl Hooker 

    They went 
    down on 

    47th Street one night 

    You know 
    47th, it's a gas 

    Verse 2
    They went 
    into a club, 

    sat 
    down after a bar 
    that night 

    Some 
    cat 
    started 
    a riot 
    with Earl 

    That 
    was his first mistake 

    John said, 
    "Earl, 
    be cool, 
    baby 

    got the cat" 

    And if 
    you miss him, 
    got him 

    He 
    learned one thing 
    that night, 
    Verse 3

    one thing you do 
    not do 

    He 
    learned one thing 
    that night, 

    one 
    thing you do not 
    do 

    You don't 
    mess 
    with the Hookers 

    God knows 
    they'll burn you 
    down 

    Don't 
    mess 
    with the 
    Hookers 

    Yeah, 
    yeah, 
    they'll burn you down 

    Verse 4

    I learned some things 
    in life 

    Some 
    things you do 
    not do 

    I learned 
    some things 
    in life 

    Some 
    things you do 
    not do 

    Verse 5
    You don't spit 
    in the wind 

    You don't pull 
    on 
    Superman's cape 


    You don't pull 
    the mask off 

    that old Lone Ranger 

    And 
    you don't mess 
    with 
    the Hookers 

    Verse 6
    Hmm, 
    they will burn you 
    down 

    Hmm, 
    don't 
    mess 
    with 
    the Hookers 

    Hmm, 
    mmm, 
    hmm, mmm 

    Hmm, 
    mmm, hmm, mmm 

    Hmm, mmm, hmm, mmm

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
